Lamar Jackson’s lengthy contract dispute with the Baltimore Ravens, which resulted in a trade request earlier this month, has been blamed on fellow quarterback Patrick Mahomes by former NFL star Richard Sherman.
Jackson, 26, has been eligible for a new contract since the end of the 2020 season and despite having two years to get a deal done, the player and the Ravens haven’t been able to ink new terms.
Negotiations between the two parties have fallen apart and a non-exclusive franchise tag has been placed on 2019 MVP Jackson, who is said to be looking for a fully guaranteed deal.
